A son of High Yield, Admiral’s Arch comes into Saturday’s headliner off two graded stakes attempts, a third-place finish in the Grade III Lone Star Derby in Texas in May and a fourth in the Grade III Northern Dancer Breeders’ Cup Stakes at Churchill Downs last month. Earlier this year, the dark bay or brown colt captured the $100,000 Northern Spur Breeders’ Cup Stakes at Oaklawn Park. Trained by Scott Blasi, Admiral’s Arch will have the services of Arlington Park’s leading rider, Chris Emigh.

Though coming in to Saturday’s off a maiden victory, Carolyn Sue Bruder’s Bright One is sure to receive significant support at the betting windows. The Dance Brightly colt decimated his rivals over a mile at Churchill Downs last time out in registering a 9 ½-length tally. The Dale Romans trainee was dispatched as the 6-5 favorite in that race and he earned a triple-digit Beyer Speed Figure of 101 for his effort. Mark Guidry comes in from Kentucky to ride.

Of these, High Blues won a first-level allowance race at this distance in his last trip to the post on June 9. Another son of High Yield, High Blues faced some tough competition this winter at Gulfstream Park, where he finished second in an allowance race to Sunriver, who went on to win the Grade II Peter Pan at Belmont Park, and later ran sixth behind eventual Kentucky Derby hero Barbaro in the Grade I Florida Derby.
